WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:05.839 You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King on 2 00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:13.039 demand on the iHeartRadio app. Happy Valentine's Day? Did you get your sweetheart 3 00:00:13.119 --> 00:00:16.719 something special? We're gonna be telling you during wake up Call how most of 4 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:21.640 you are huge procrastinators when it comes to Valentine's Day. Here's what's ahead on 5 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.559 wake Up Call. Two students SIB been hurt when a speeding car crashed into 6 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:29.679 them on a sidewalk in Anaheim. The driver apparently missed a turn, lost 7 00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.880 control, hit a utility poll, and then veered into a group of kids 8 00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.479 next to the Anaheim Tennis Center yesterday afternoon. Two kids were injured, the 9 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.520 other two were able to jump out of the way. The US House is 10 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.640 voted to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorchis over the Biden administration's handling of the 11 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.119 US Mexico border. The vote two fourteen, two thirteen. President Biden called 12 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:57.000 the impeachment a blatant act of unconstitutional partner partisanship and petty political games. We're 13 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.640 gonna find out more about the impeachment and what's next with ABC's Stephen Portnoy. 14 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:06.000 That's coming up in less than five minutes. A three point nine magnitude earthquake 15 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:11.840 was reported six miles north of Westmoreland in Imperial County yesterday just before noon. 16 00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.959 There have been more than a dozen quakes reported near El Centro and Imperial since 17 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.920 midnight Monday. The largest was a four point eight at six oh five. 18 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:25.760 It's handle on the news. NATO members are expected to spend a record amount 19 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:32.040 on defense spending as they brace for a possible President Trump. Again, let's 20 00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:34.000 get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour 21 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:41.560 newsroom. LAPD Chief mor says guarding the unfinished Greek graffiti covered ocean wide towers 22 00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:48.159 in downtown La has strained his already understaffed police department. Officers have spent three 23 00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:53.400 thousand hours guarding it so far. We do think that unfortunately, it has 24 00:01:53.439 --> 00:01:59.760 become an iconic location to draw people for nefarious acts. We now have seen 25 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.799 a base jump that has occurred off the top of that location. Police have 26 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.159 arrested more than a dozen people for trespassing and other crimes. LA City Councilman 27 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:13.840 Kevin da Leone has introduced a motion asking for nearly four million dollars to secure 28 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:19.240 the skyscraper complex. City officials would also try to build the property owner based 29 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.039 in China, but the company is said to be bankrupt. A four year 30 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.759 old boy kidnapped in Long Beach has been found safe and Amber alert was issued 31 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.120 when the boy's father, who had left the car running with the boy inside, 32 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.800 realized it was stolen last night. The child was the only occupant of 33 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.280 the vehicle, no one else in the area. He's safe, he's unharmed, 34 00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:42.400 and he's been reunited with his family. Long Beach Polices Alison Gallagher says 35 00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.800 two women found the car and called police. The boy was found still in 36 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.960 his car seat about an hour after the Amber alert was issued. Anaheim has 37 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:55.479 voted to start impounding illegal street vendor equipment, merchandise, and unsafe food for 38 00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:00.759 code violation. Anaheim says not one single street food has obtained proper permits and 39 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.599 health licenses, despite one hundred and forty one citations handed out in twenty twenty 40 00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.439 two and four hundred twenty three last year. We've seen raw chicken in a 41 00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:14.120 bucket, sitting in the sun, waiting to be cooked and ultimately sold, 42 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.199 and i'ms Aaron Ryan says it's about public safety. We've also seen open flames 43 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:23.599 on her sidewalks, generators and pro paying tanks, even merchandise vendors just taking 44 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.400 up space so people can't pass by. The new rules could start April first 45 00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.240 in Anaheim. Corbin Carson KFI News, Yell County Board of Supervisors has tentatively 46 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.439 approved new rules for short term rentals in unincorporated areas. Rentals would be restricted 47 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:43.639 to a host's primary residence. The rules would also require hosts with Airbnb or 48 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.039 verbo to register and pay a fee of nine hundred fourteen dollars a year, 49 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.560 and there are limits on the number of guests, the length of stay, 50 00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:57.439 and types of events available for short term rentals. Well, it is Valentine's 51 00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:04.159 Day, which means love is in the air. A Silly Love just in 52 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:09.280 time for Valentine's Day. Billboard is ranked the top fifty songs that have the 53 00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.840 word love in the title. This is the number five song. Silly Love 54 00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.879 Songs by Wings. We Found Love by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris came in at 55 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:24.279 number four. How Deep is Your Love by the Beg's number three. I'll 56 00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.959 Make Love to You by Boys to Men is number two, and the number 57 00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:34.920 one top song with the word love and its title of all time Endless Love 58 00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:42.439 by Diana rosson Lionel Richie. Oh, it's five seven on your wake up 59 00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:46.439 call. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Steven Portnoise. So, Steve 60 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.920 and we got two big things, an impeachment in the House and a ninety 61 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:53.040 five billion dollars four in aid package in the Senate. What do you want 62 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.600 to hit first? Oh, my goodness, it's really up to you. 63 00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.480 But let's let's talk about the impeachment vote, because I think I think it 64 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:05.160 is interesting, especially visa they result last night in New York's third congressional district 65 00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.839 on Long Island, where a Democrat won a seat that had been held by 66 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:15.759 Republicans. The disgraced former Congressman George Santos expelled by his colleagues, and now 67 00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.439 it's Tom Swazi, a Democrat, who will retake a seat he had previously 68 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:23.600 held for many years. The reason I mentioned it is because it makes life 69 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.480 that much harder for Speaker Mike Johnson. Last night was an emblem of it, 70 00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.759 when he, by a single vote, passed the impeachment resolution targeting Alee 71 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.560 Hudra. Majorcis the first Cabinet official to face impeachment in nearly one hundred and 72 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.680 fifty years, and it was the second attempt to do it because the first 73 00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:44.639 time I Speaker Johnson had difficulty counting the votes and didn't anticipate the Democrats would 74 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.399 have perfect attendance while Republicans didn't. And now, going forward, Speaker Johnson 75 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:53.680 will only be able to lose two of his own members in close party line 76 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.040 votes before a measure goes down to defeat. So it'll just make it that 77 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.720 much harder to govern. And the sense we get as we pivot now to 78 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.879 the Foreign Aid Bill is that there's not a clear plan that Speaker Johnson has 79 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:11.600 not told his colleagues what it is that he and they should do when it 80 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.959 comes to this ninety five billion dollar measure that's been sent over by the Senate. 81 00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:17.399 The only thing you're hearing from them publicly is complaints that it doesn't include 82 00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:20.519 border security. Well, we've known that that was going to happen. He 83 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:26.399 said that if it did include the border security provisions that the Senate had negotiated, 84 00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.800 it'd be dead on arrival in the House, which is why those provisions 85 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.399 were stripped out. So now, what is the House going to do? 86 00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.199 It really is a question that we can't answer this morning. One option for 87 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:40.519 Democrats in the House is to invoke the rarely used procedural measure known as a 88 00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:46.319 discharge petition, and that involves collecting two hundred and eighteen signatures and submitting the 89 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.959 petition to the House Clerk and calling a vote on the floor despite the Speaker's 90 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.480 objection. And if it were allowed, the House were truly allowed to work 91 00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:57.639 its will. As Speaker Johnson says, everyone knows that there will probably be 92 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.199 enough support amongst Republicans and Democrats to send this ninety five billion dollar four in 93 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:06.120 a bill to the President's desk. The reason that won't happen is because Speaker 94 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:10.759 Johnson objects to it, and he's urging his Republican members and not to sign 95 00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.160 on to it. Please don't cross me, is what saying to his colleagues. 96 00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:19.040 And we'll see what happens. But his speakership is already kind of hanging 97 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.639 in the balance because he's come under a lot of criticism and after they took 98 00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:30.480 McCarthy out, I wonder how much sway he's going to have. Well that's 99 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.439 right, I mean, look he's essentially powerless. He has to cater to 100 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:41.639 the far right members of his caucus who demand things and are extremely ardent in 101 00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.360 their demands, and he knows that if he crosses them, they'll come for 102 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.079 him. At the same time, if he wants to get anything done in 103 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.120 the House, he has to worry about moderates. And last night is a 104 00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:57.360 clear example. You know, there were three Republicans who said that impeaching a 105 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:03.399 sitting Homeland Security secretary for his received failure to enforce the law is a policy 106 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.600 dispute that does not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. If 107 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:11.480 one more Republican had joined on to that notion, it would have tanked the 108 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:15.480 whole thing. Now that's not what happened. The House has impeached the Homeland 109 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:18.560 Security Secretary and there will be in some respect the trial in the Senate. 110 00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.120 But it just demonstrates just how razor thin things are for the speaker. It 111 00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.439 only takes one vote, it's a majority rule, and one single vote makes 112 00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:33.440 the difference. But it's that much more difficult to get anything done in a 113 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.039 divided Congress and within a divided Republican party. Okay, and do we know, 114 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:41.320 Stephen, when they're going to take up either the Foreign Aid bill and 115 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:48.240 or the impeachment. No, okay, well there you have it. We'll 116 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.879 be watching for it. Then, Stephen Fortnoy, thanks for helping us sort 117 00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:52.559 it all out. You bet all right. Take care. Let's get back 118 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:56.320 to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. 119 00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:00.759 Two suspected gang members have been arrested in connection with four deadly shoots in southeast 120 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:05.080 Dela County. Bell Police Chief Carlos east Lust says the shooters should be brought 121 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.120 to justice. It is hoped that the day will do everything in their power 122 00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:13.480 to prosecute them and be aggressive in their prosecution and not minimize this event. 123 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.960 Captain Andrew Meyer the Ellie County Sheriff's Department says the shootings happened over a span 124 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.279 of just a few hours, within a five mile radius of each other in 125 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:24.759 Bell Cutahey, Huntington Park, and the Florence Firestone area. It appears this 126 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.279 was a random murder spree, a no armed robbery that we're aware of, 127 00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.080 nothing else other than random targeting. The youngest person shot and killed was fourteen 128 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:37.440 years old Lisa still looking for a possible third person involved in the shootings. 129 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:43.639 Ukraine claims it has destroyed a Russian military ship in the Black Sea. A 130 00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:50.320 Ukrainian defense official claims the operation today was carried out by Ukraine's military intelligence agency. 131 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.360 The official says the Russian landing ship was attacked by drones and sank to 132 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:58.600 the bottom of the sea. A driver in Texas has died in a crash 133 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.360 into an emergency room. Five people were hurt in the crash yesterday. The 134 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.919 hospital's chief medical officer, doctor Peter de Jung, says it couldn't have been 135 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.879 worse. We are so thankful that the building itself appears to be in good 136 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.919 condition and there's been no impact operations outside of the emergency department at all. 137 00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.360 The young says patients in the er were moved to other hospitals. He says 138 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.360 patients already admitted into the hospital were not affected. Police called it a mash 139 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.080 casualty incident, but said it appears to have been an accident. Students planning 140 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:33.720 to pursue careers in tech are facing a shrimp shrinking job market. Major tech 141 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.360 companies have laid off thousands of employees in the last year and experts say the 142 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.440 market's becoming more competitive. They say the industry saw record profits at the height 143 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.240 of the pandemic, but now future graduates are facing a different trend, which 144 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.240 could slow the number of jobs. They say students need to be patient. 145 00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:56.679 A round stingray named Charlotte has gotten knocked up all by herself in North Carolina. 146 00:10:56.039 --> 00:11:01.320 She spent most of her time swimming around alone in aquarium. Her owner 147 00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.399 says Charlotte has as many as four pups and could give birth in the next 148 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:11.279 two weeks. A research scientist in Georgia says Charlotte's pregnancy is the only documented 149 00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:16.600 example she's aware of for the species. Okay, did you see the Dunkings 150 00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:22.440 commercial, the one with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez and Tom Brady and of 151 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:31.559 course Ben Affleck's best friend Matt Well. Duncan is taking off the popularity of 152 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:39.000 that and launching its dun King's Menu. It's a limited edition selection of food 153 00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.720 and drinks named after Affleck's failed attempt to impress his wife Jalo with his musical 154 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:48.840 talents. I thought that was one of the more fun commercials the last year's 155 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:52.480 Super Bowl ad for Duncan, which also starred. Affleck helped sell more donuts 156 00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:56.840 the following day than any other day in Duncan's history, so they thought we 157 00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:03.559 should capitalize on this. So the Duncan King's menu now available includes Ben Affleck's 158 00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:11.200 favorite iced coffee and dun King's Munchkin Skewers, which include three assorted donut holes 159 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:16.360 on a skewer. Available now at dun King's, actually at Duncan, but 160 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.200 it's the dun Kings menu. When we come back, We're talking tech with 161 00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:26.080 Rich Demiro. Romance scammers have gone high tech. What you need to watch 162 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.440 for and guess what your smart TV is spying on you. You're listening to 163 00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:35.960 wake Up Call on demand from KFI AM six forty. LA Police has spent 164 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:43.000 three thousand hours on duty guarding an abandoned high rise from trespassers. The Ocean 165 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:46.600 Wide Plaza in downtown LA has been tagged with graffiti. Earlier this week, 166 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:50.600 someone base jumped off it. LAPD Chief Morses guarding the unfinished building has strained 167 00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:56.879 his already understaffed police department. Caltrans is putting the brakes on plans to reopen 168 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.000 pch south of Magoo Rock twenty four hours a Day, the shoulder of the 169 00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:05.120 highway crumbled and fell onto the beach below from heavy rains last week. Caltrans 170 00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.000 has made repairs, but says with another storm expected this weekend, having the 171 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.720 road open day and night is just too dangerous. Downtown Kansas City is turning 172 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.600 into a sea of red for Valentine's Day as Chiefs fans get ready to celebrate 173 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.279 their third Super Bowl victory in five seasons with a big Old parade. The 174 00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:28.799 remote possibility that Travis Kelsey's girlfriend Taylor Swift might show up, plus temperatures in 175 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:33.120 the sixties are expected to draw a big crowd estimated at over a million people. 176 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:37.080 At six oh five, it's handle on the news. The House has 177 00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:43.360 done it by a two fourteen two thirteen vote. It impeached the Homeland Security 178 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.399 Secretary. We'll talk about what's next there. Let's say good morning too, 179 00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:50.639 the host of Rich on Tech Here on KFI, it's KTLA tech reporter Rich 180 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.000 DeMuro. Good morning, Rich, Hey, good morning to you. Amy. 181 00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:58.120 So we're talking romance this Valentine's Day, and if you're looking for love, 182 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.320 there's a chance that scammers are looking for you. Yeah, we're pretty 183 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:07.519 much being exposed to scams no matter what we do online, but romance scams 184 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:13.080 definitely a thing one point three billion dollars in twenty twenty two median loss of 185 00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:16.720 about forty four hundred dollars. The big red flag here. They want to 186 00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:20.320 talk to you, they want to fall in love with you, but they 187 00:14:20.360 --> 00:14:22.679 don't want to ever meet with you in person. That's the red flag. 188 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.000 These chats typically start on a standard dating platform, but they want to move 189 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:33.360 off of those platforms onto a more private chat. Why because the dating platforms 190 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:37.320 can't see what they're saying, they can't control what they're doing, and they 191 00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:41.120 want money. They usually want you to send them crypto. They usually want 192 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.279 you to send them a bank transfer, and there's always an excuse amy they 193 00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:46.600 can't meet with you because they're in the hospital, they're stuck in the border, 194 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.320 they have to work, whatever it is. But they need that money 195 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:54.919 because that will get them to you. Don't let this happen to you. 196 00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:01.120 So here's my question, how many people actually all for this because it sounds 197 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.159 like it's a lot. It's a lot. I mean, with one point 198 00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:09.600 three billion dollars in losses, that's a lot of people. So I think 199 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.559 that it's one of those things that you and I probably would not fall for. 200 00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.960 But there are many, many people out there, and you know, 201 00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.759 tens of thousands of people according to the FCC in twenty twenty two. I 202 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.080 mean, I think they said like seventy thousand People's that's a decent amount of 203 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.240 people. And you don't want it to happen to you or someone you love. 204 00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:31.360 Yeah, and it's I think it's kind of a sad and it's kind 205 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.039 of sign of our times. I mean, people are really desperate to find 206 00:15:35.039 --> 00:15:41.159 somebody and may take desperate measures to try and try and get it. You 207 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.639 know, yeah, you get that attention. It's online, it's easy, 208 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.840 and yeah, loneliness is a huge part of this. And you know, 209 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.879 just in general online dating works. People get married through online dating. But 210 00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:56.600 there's also this dark side of there's just scammers, like there is in every 211 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:02.120 other aspect of our lives. Okay, so let's move on to happier things. 212 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.320 Your favorite new toy the Apple Vision Pro and Mark Zuckerberg has a thing 213 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.480 or two to say about them. Yeah, I thought this was actually pretty 214 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:17.120 wild. Now you have to remember the backstory. Apple really cut Facebook off 215 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.440 at the knees here with their you know, they're less ad tracking on the 216 00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:25.000 iPhone. So Facebook is not friends with Apple. They do not like Apple, 217 00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:27.919 even though of course Facebook app runs on many, many, many millions 218 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.799 of iPhones out there. But Mark Zuckerberg put on the Apple Vision Pro and 219 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.840 he has a competing product called the Quest three, and he said, you 220 00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:40.759 know, I expected our product to be a better value, but I actually 221 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:44.480 think it's a better product overall. And he did his own little tech review. 222 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:48.080 He said, the Quest is more comfortable, it's lighter, there's no 223 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:52.879 wires, you can see better inside of it, it has more games, 224 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.200 the price tag is seven times less, and it's also going by the open 225 00:16:57.240 --> 00:17:00.879 model versus Apple, which you know, traditionally everything they do is a closed 226 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.039 model where they control it from top to bottom. So he said, look, 227 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:07.119 you know, game on, but we think we have the better product. 228 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.680 And I thought it was very interesting for him to do this a CEO 229 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:14.799 of a major, major company. You don't typically see this, and I 230 00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.400 thought it was pretty cool. So is the Quest three is five hundred dollars? 231 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:22.880 Yeah, Metaquest three. So they have they've been doing VR for like 232 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:27.559 almost ten years now, Okay, and have you tried out the metaquest three. 233 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:33.400 Yes I have. And you know, here's the thing Apple. What 234 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:37.640 he left out of the equation is that Apple has the major support of developers, 235 00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:42.480 the software developers, because they have all the iPhone developers that have made 236 00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:47.759 apps for the iPhone and the iPad, you know, theoretically could work on 237 00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:49.599 apps for this. So he left that part out. And Apple has a 238 00:17:49.720 --> 00:17:56.200 very good developer you know, software development kind of system, and so he 239 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.640 left that part out, and that could give Apple the upper hand. But 240 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:03.000 at this same time, I think that a lot of people love this metaquest 241 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.240 and you know, people are enjoying the Apple vision, but it's for a 242 00:18:06.400 --> 00:18:08.640 very specific audience right now, and that is people who can afford it. 243 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:11.880 Yeah, people with a lot of money. Well it sounds I mean it 244 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.640 makes sense that like you might start with the quest and if you find you 245 00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.279 really love it and then want to invest, then maybe you would upgrade over 246 00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:25.200 to the vision. Pro Well, Zuckerberg's arguing that it's not necessarily an upgrade. 247 00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:26.880 You're spending a lot of money for you know, wires to be attached 248 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:32.279 to your head, a heavier product, you know, something that you can't 249 00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:34.680 necessarily work out in. So I think there's pros and cons of each. 250 00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:40.559 I think that Apples will eventually be better if the price comes down, But 251 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.079 I think the Quest three is still a very good product. That what Mark 252 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:45.839 is saying, don't don't count us out just yet, And I think he's 253 00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:51.000 right. Okay, And since I know that you you've been kind of all 254 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:56.400 over the vision pro did you see the family afore sitting around the table all 255 00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:59.960 with their headsets on, not talking to each other? Oh my god. 256 00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:02.799 I mean, if they can afford that in the future, sure, because 257 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:04.720 we're already doing it with our smartphones. I mean, if have you been 258 00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.839 to like a restaurant lately, it's like the whole family's just sitting there eating 259 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.759 dinner with their phones on the table, which, by the way, I 260 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.720 do not recommend enjoy that time. My kids. They try to bring the 261 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:17.119 iPad to the table and I say, no, this is the ten minutes 262 00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:21.079 where we're gonna sit here and chat and it's really fun. Sometimes it might 263 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:22.640 take a little bit, but they do open up eventually. Yeah. You 264 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.200 know what it really reminds me of did you see the movie Wally? Yeah, 265 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:32.400 so if you saw Wally, remember everybody sits in these chairs and they 266 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.480 have their big like ginormous it looks like slurpees or seven to eleven drinks, 267 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:40.240 and they all sit in front of screens and just tool around the ship and 268 00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:42.119 nobody talks to each other. And they keep getting bigger too, by the 269 00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:48.759 way, Yeah, well there's that. Okay, Walmart might be buying Visio. 270 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.279 What's up with that? Yeah? Kind of interesting. So Walmart, 271 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.119 according to the Wall Street Journal and talks to acquire the TV maker video for 272 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.200 almost or more than two billion dollars. Visio's the biggest TV sold at Walmart, 273 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.799 so they're their biggest customer. And I didn't know this, but Walmart 274 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.559 made two point seven billion dollars off of ads last year. Like I didn't 275 00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:11.200 realize they had like a big advertising business. But this would give them more 276 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.319 ad inventory to sell. Wait, how they make money off of ads? 277 00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:22.000 I'm guessing from their mobile products and also that Walmart TV that they have inside 278 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.960 Walmart. But this would give them more inventory. And the way that these 279 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.319 smart TVs work when you're watching these streaming services on a smart TV like a 280 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:36.599 Visio, you know, Netflix, gets or whoever you're watching gets you know 281 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:40.920 three minutes of ads and the TV manufacturer gets one minute and so they get 282 00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:42.480 to sell that on their own so they have a lot of inventory. But 283 00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:47.200 they also get the viewer data, and that is the big deal here. 284 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.440 That's the big play because I realized this. I just bought a smart TV 285 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:56.119 and they spy on you with this feature called automatic content recognition. So manufacturers 286 00:20:56.119 --> 00:20:59.759 collect the data from all the shows that you're watching, whether you're streaming, 287 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:03.039 wing, a regular channel, whatever it is, and then they aggregate that 288 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:06.400 and sell it to advertising companies. So Walmart would be able to know if 289 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:11.039 people saw an ad for Crest and then bought Crest in their stores. Wow, 290 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.440 it's just amazing how they're doing that. Yeah it is. But by 291 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.799 the way, Amy, I always like a little takeaway for people, and 292 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.400 you can go into your settings on your TV, and I talked about this 293 00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.640 on my radio show this weekend and turn off what's called automatic content recognition ACR. 294 00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:30.839 Anything that says it's going to enhance your experience by collecting data. You 295 00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:34.559 can turn that off on your smart TV and reclaim at least some of your 296 00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:37.240 privacy. Okay, I'm going into my settings as soon as I get home 297 00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.960 for more great tips like this. You can listen to Rich jamiro. He 298 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:47.160 is the host of Rich on Tech right here on KFI It's Saturdays from eleven 299 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.880 to two. You can also follow Rich on Instagram, at rich on Tech 300 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.359 website, richon Tech dot tv. Thanks so much, Rich, we'll talk 301 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.119 to you next week. Thanks Amy. Happy Valentine's Boy. All right, 302 00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.759 you too. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the 303 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:04.160 KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Packaged foods sold in La could soon have a 304 00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:07.720 new requirement. That requirement would be information on how long it would take for 305 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:14.240 the packaging to biodegrade. Habits of Waste President Shila Morvadi says the information would 306 00:22:14.240 --> 00:22:18.279 be a crucial environmental step. Morvadi says food packaging often breaks down into smaller 307 00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:23.039 microplastics over time that then go back into our water and food sources, and 308 00:22:23.079 --> 00:22:26.519 we end up ingesting a lot of it. Some scientists say that we're eating 309 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:32.359 a credit card worth amount of plastic each week. The La City Council yesterday 310 00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:37.400 unanimously approved a report on possibly enacting the requirement. Like trolly, kf I 311 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:41.559 news, a credit card size worth of plastics. That's scary news. Brought 312 00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:45.000 to you by American Vision Windows. A report from the Center on Juvenile and 313 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:49.640 Criminal Justices, crime solving in California is at a record low, even though 314 00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:55.119 spending on law enforcement is at a record high. California's not defunding the police. 315 00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:00.240 We have put fifty percent more money into policing per capita and adjust for 316 00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:06.720 inflation over the last thirty years, the advocacy groups Mike Males says there are 317 00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:10.640 more than twice as many officers now than there were then, but the number 318 00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.119 of arrests is declined by sixty six percent. He says he doesn't know why 319 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.359 people are blaming das when the offenses aren't even reaching their desks. Defense Secretary 320 00:23:18.440 --> 00:23:22.880 Lloyd Austin has been released from the hospital he was admitted Sunday to be treated 321 00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.839 for a bladder issue. Austin was diagnosed with prostate cancer in December and is 322 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.519 still dealing with complications from his treatment. The Pentagon says Austin will be recuperating 323 00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:36.160 and performing his duties remotely for a period of time before he returns to work 324 00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:41.000 at the Pentagon later this week when we come back. Amy's on it and 325 00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.680 what I'm on this week is one of the lesser known Academy Award nominated movies. 326 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:49.200 We'll check that out in just about five minutes. Southland weather from KFI 327 00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:53.480 becoming partly cloudy with highs in the Lieuden Mian's sixties fifties for the high desert 328 00:23:53.720 --> 00:23:57.519 morning clouds, afternoon sun again tomorrow. Partly cloudy on Friday with highs in 329 00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:00.960 the sixties to about seventy. I've got a chance of rain late Saturday as 330 00:24:00.960 --> 00:24:07.559 a storm moves in.

The US 335 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:37.839 House has voted to impeach Online Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis over the Biden administration's handling 336 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.799 of the US Mexico border. The vote was two fourteen two thirteen. President 337 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:49.480 Biden called the impeachment a blatant act of unconstitutional partisanship and petty political games. 338 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.880 Harvey Weinstein's lawyers will be asking the New York Court of Appeals to overturn his 339 00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.880 twenty twenty rape conviction. They argue that the judge in his trial in Manhattan 340 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:03.079 trampled his right to a fair trial bye to succumbing to the pressure of the 341 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:08.160 me too movement by allowing three women who weren't part of the case to testify. 342 00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:15.079 There's no getting around truck traffic in California. LA's Highway sixty to fifty 343 00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:21.400 seven interchain interchange is ranked the worst truck bottleneck in the state and the seventh 344 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:26.480 worst in the nation. The American Transportation Research says the seven to ten at 345 00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:30.319 the one oh five is the country's eleventh worst bottleneck spot, and the ten 346 00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:36.559 and the fifteen in Ontario is eighteenth on the list at five point fifty. 347 00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:40.240 We're gonna be talking with ABC's Kleb Silver about whether you need to panic after 348 00:25:40.359 --> 00:25:48.880 yesterday's big drop in the stock market. Amys on it, Aami's on It's 349 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:55.640 on it, damis on it? What am I on? I'm on? 350 00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:59.720 Streaming shows? There are movies, there are documentaries, there are series. 351 00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:03.519 There's so much to see and how do you know what to even watch because 352 00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.799 there's so much content, so hopefully I can guide you a little bit. 353 00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:12.240 I take my recommendations from friends and relatives, and well, we're friends, 354 00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:18.160 right, so I'll give my recommendations to you this week because it's Valentine's Day. 355 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:23.880 This one kind of falls into that category. It's called Path Lives. 356 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:29.240 It is nominated for an Academy Award, and when they announced the Academy Award 357 00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:33.759 nominations, I said, I've never heard that movie. I've never heard that 358 00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:38.359 name, don't know anything about it. So it is currently streaming on Paramount 359 00:26:38.440 --> 00:26:42.359 Plus. Not all the Academy nominated movies are available on streaming, but this 360 00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:47.160 one is, so I thought i'd check it out. It stars Greta Lee. 361 00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:48.839 She plays Nora, and you may know her. I was like, 362 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.839 why do I know that person? She's on the Morning Show. She plays 363 00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:57.359 Stella Bach, the producer on the Morning Show, so that's where you might 364 00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:03.440 recognize her from. Also John mcguro who was in The Big Short and also 365 00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:08.480 Oranges is the New Blacks. So there's a couple of familiar faces and there's 366 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:15.240 a lot of unfamiliar faces. But this is the story past lives of childhood 367 00:27:15.279 --> 00:27:21.480 friends. So they grow up or they're growing up in South Korea, and 368 00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:25.519 her family said it's time to go to the US, so they head over 369 00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:30.160 to the US. And then the next time you see them, they're grown 370 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:36.960 up because years go by and they reconnect on like so many of us Facebook. 371 00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:41.880 So he's still in Korea, she's now living in Manhattan, and they 372 00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:47.519 start building a relationship from half a world away. And it was really interesting 373 00:27:47.559 --> 00:27:51.480 to me because it comes with all the trappings of a long distance relationship. 374 00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:55.640 And I've been in plenty over my life, and all of this was very 375 00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:00.880 familiar to me, living separate lives, living in different times zones. Of 376 00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:06.279 course, there's connectivity issues, and then the realization that you live half a 377 00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.599 world away and can't just see each other and spend time together when you want 378 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:15.279 to. It's a beautiful little movie. It's very heartwarming, but it's also 379 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.640 very heartbreaking. There's no action in the movie. It's a lot of talk, 380 00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:23.359 talk, talk, and it's just a really pretty story. And part 381 00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:27.079 of it is subtitled, so you do have to kind of pay attention, 382 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:30.960 which for me is always a problem because I'm like, oh, I need 383 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:33.920 to go get some popcorn, or oh I got to go do this, 384 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:36.039 or oh, I need to check this on the computer, and then you 385 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.640 have to rewind it. That's the beauty of streaming is you can rewind them. 386 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:44.720 So just know that part of it is subtitled. I don't think it's 387 00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:48.960 probably going to win an Academy Award, but I do think it's a very 388 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:55.359 good movie and something nice to curl up with on a rainy day. Oh, 389 00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:59.480 this weekend we're supposed to get rain It's called Past Lives Again on Paramount 390 00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.960 Plus. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI 391 00:29:03.000 --> 00:29:07.279 twenty four hour newsroom. Huntington Beach has started reviewing library books as part of 392 00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:11.759 a city ordinance to keep sexually explicit material out of the kids section. Supporters 393 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.440 say sexual materials should be for parents to decide. Huntington Beach Mayor Gracie Vandermark 394 00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:21.559 says this is not about removing educational books on, for example, puberty. 395 00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.839 When I say sexually explicit, I'm talking about books that teach children how to 396 00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:27.720 masturbate, what a climax feels like, books with erections. Friends of Huntington 397 00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:32.319 Beach Library board member Carol Dawes says the libraries are fine how they are. 398 00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:36.440 What one person might find offensive, another person might find that's a book I 399 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.400 want to read with my child. The books will be reviewed, then returned 400 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:44.839 or recategorized into teen or adult sections. In Orange County, Corbin Carson KFI 401 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.640 News News brought to you by American Vision Windows. The death toll from the 402 00:29:48.640 --> 00:29:52.240 wildfire that destroyed the town of Leahina on Maui has risen to one hundred and 403 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.960 one. Police on the island have confirmed the identity of a seventy six year 404 00:29:56.000 --> 00:30:02.359 old after months of trying to identify remains using das samples from family members. 405 00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:06.960 Democrat Tom Swazi has won the special election in New York to replace ousted Republican 406 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:12.640 Congressman George Santos. Swase beat Republican Mazi pill Up last night to retake the 407 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.920 seat he held for three terms before he gave it up to run for governor. 408 00:30:17.400 --> 00:30:22.319 Santos was thrown out in December, months after he was indicted on federal 409 00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.000 fraud charges. Notts Berry Farm has plans to hire two thousand workers for the 410 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:30.240 twenty twenty fourth season. The open positions include bride operators, park attendance, 411 00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:34.319 lifeguards, and hotel workers. The park is holding a week long hiring events 412 00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:38.319 starting on Saturday. Officials say, if you're interested, you can apply, 413 00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:45.319 interview, and even get hired the very same day. So since it's Valentine's 414 00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:51.480 Day, and well, for me it's a it's not a very momentous day 415 00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.680 because I don't have a Valentine, so I might just, you know, 416 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.720 curl up and watch a romantic movie. So I thought, well, what 417 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.720 are the most romantic movies of all time? And did a little digging found 418 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:07.359 the list of what is supposedly the two hundred best romantic comedies of all time, 419 00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:11.960 and you can look for it on Rotten Tomatoes. But I gotta tell 420 00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:15.079 you, I don't know that I agree with this, and maybe it's because 421 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:21.160 the movies are all too old, But according to Rotten Tomatoes, the number 422 00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:27.319 one romantic movie of all time is The Philadelphia Story. Know it, well, 423 00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:32.799 it's a really old one, but it does. It stars Carrie Grant 424 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.319 and Catherine Hepper and James Stewart, so big, huge stars back in the 425 00:31:37.359 --> 00:31:41.920 day. But I've never heard of it and I don't even know if you 426 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.160 can stream it. So that's the number one. Number two, His Girl 427 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:52.359 Friday with Carrie Grant and Rosalind Russell. Number three, The Chopper on the 428 00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:56.559 Corner with Margaret Sullivan and James Stewart. Oh, there's a theme. Number 429 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:01.519 four. Barbara Stanwork Stanwick and Harry Henry Fonda star in The Lady Eve. 430 00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:06.079 That's from back in nineteen forty one. And in the top ten, we 431 00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:13.240 don't hit a contemporary movie until number six. That's Broadcast News from nineteen eighty 432 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:20.720 seven. I love that movie, and Holly Hunter in that movie is spectacular 433 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:24.920 because you know, she's a news producer and every once in a while she 434 00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:29.519 just breaks down and cries for kind of no reason because the stress, trust 435 00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:34.640 stress of the day gets to her. And yeah, I feel you're paying 436 00:32:34.680 --> 00:32:37.599 Holly Hunter. But I didn't really find that as a romantic movie because there 437 00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:42.200 wasn't like a you know, didn't have a happy ending. And then Big 438 00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:46.160 from nineteen eighty eight was number seven. That was adorable with Tom Hanks Defending 439 00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:50.960 Your Life was number nine. Didn't even know that was a romance. But 440 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:55.319 I also didn't see that The Big Sick. And I remember The Big Sick. 441 00:32:55.720 --> 00:32:59.480 It came out in twenty seventeen. It was nominated for something, which 442 00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:02.279 is the only reason and that I watched it. I didn't think it was 443 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.759 very romantic. But here's my thing, the movie When Harry Met Sally, 444 00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:12.759 which is for me, one of the best rom coms of all time. 445 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:16.640 It's like number forty nine on the list. I kind of think that's criminal. 446 00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:22.440 We did a little poll on Instagram at Amy K. King Say Anything 447 00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:27.440 popped up a couple of times. I'm thirteen going on thirty. That was 448 00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:31.240 another good one. And The Notebook, I don't think that's a romantic comedy. 449 00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.400 Boy, that one I just bawled my eyes out. If you want 450 00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:37.799 to cry on Valentine's Day, watch The Notebook. But anyway, if you 451 00:33:37.799 --> 00:33:42.839 want to see the complete list, you can check them out on Rotten Tomatoes. 452 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:46.599 You're listening to Wake Up Call on demand from KFI Am six forty. 453 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:52.240 Here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. LAPD has spent 454 00:33:52.519 --> 00:33:58.519 three thousand hours on duty guarding an abandoned high rise from trespassers. The Ocean 455 00:33:58.559 --> 00:34:01.839 Wide Plaza in downtown on LA has been tagged with graffiti, and earlier this 456 00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:06.319 week someone base jumped off the building. Eighteen people have been arrested at the 457 00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:12.320 site in recent days, mostly for trespassing and vandalism. Caltrans is putting the 458 00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:15.400 brakes on plans to reopen PCH south of Magoo Rock twenty four hours a day. 459 00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:19.800 The shoulder of the highway crumbled and fell onto the beach below from heavy 460 00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:24.000 rains last week. PCH between Los Posis and Sycamore Canyon Roads is going to 461 00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:29.960 be open from seven am till six pm until further notice for safety reasons. 462 00:34:30.360 --> 00:34:35.280 Nearly half of the flowers, candy, and cards bought for Valentine's Day are 463 00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:39.280 bought at the last minute. Walmart says seventy five percent of its Valentine's Day 464 00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:45.000 sales happen on February thirteenth and fourteenth. An open table says last year, 465 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:50.920 thirty percent of Valentine's Day dinner reservations were made the day before, and eighteen 466 00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:55.360 percent were made on the holiday itself. Nothing like a good procrastination when it 467 00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:00.760 comes to true love. We're just minutes away from handle. On the news 468 00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:06.760 this morning, the Republican's razor thin majority in the House just got even thinner 469 00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:13.679 thanks to ousted Representative George Santos. Let's say good morning now to ABC's Caleb 470 00:35:13.800 --> 00:35:20.440 Silver, the editor in chief at Investopedia. Caleb, should we start freaking 471 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.239 out yet? Not at all? Not at all, But I know yesterday 472 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.880 was pretty scary. Yesterday was a big icy wind blowing through the stock market. 473 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.639 Stocks are going to rebound this morning. A little bit of scare there 474 00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:35.679 because inflation coming in hotter than expected, and I think that set a lot 475 00:35:35.719 --> 00:35:38.199 of people by surprise. Okay, So how much was the dive because at 476 00:35:38.280 --> 00:35:42.920 some point I saw it was down like seven hundred points at one point, 477 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:46.079 Yeah, the dove was down seven hundred points. Are around two percent rebounded 478 00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:49.880 in the last hour of trading, which is a sign that maybe was a 479 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.039 little oversold. When we look at stock futures this morning, the market can 480 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:57.039 open in about forty or so minutes over here, Look to open higher. 481 00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:59.960 Look, we've been at higher highs. Twelve out of the last thirteen week 482 00:36:00.159 --> 00:36:02.360 the stock market's been higher. We haven't seen a streak like that since nineteen 483 00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.639 seventy two. We keep making record high after record high. Not crazy to 484 00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:08.960 see a pullback of one or two percent, especially when you have that economic 485 00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.199 news telling us that inflation is still still pretty sticky high here, which means 486 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:17.320 the Federal Reserve is going to keep interest rates elevated probably until June. I 487 00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:21.119 think a lot of folks thought they might lower rate sooner. I think they 488 00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:24.760 need to think again and just wait until summer. Okay, And so Caleb, 489 00:36:24.880 --> 00:36:28.960 since you're a money guy and you watch this, it used to be 490 00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:32.119 that the stocks would be like up ten points or up twenty points or down 491 00:36:32.119 --> 00:36:37.639 twenty points. Now we see these wild swings. Why are the ups and 492 00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:42.360 downs so big? Now? Yeah, we have a much bigger stock market 493 00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:44.639 than we used to go and forget, and we have a lot of money 494 00:36:44.639 --> 00:36:47.920 in that stock market, around twenty two trillion dollars kind of floating through through 495 00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:52.440 it every single day in one form or another, so lots more activity. 496 00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:54.679 But also you see a lot of momentum stocks, and you've seen this lately 497 00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:59.800 with AI related stocks like Navidia and others. These stocks are up one hundred 498 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:02.880 percent plus in the past year. So when investors decide they want to bet 499 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.079 on a big theme and a lot of them go into it, you see 500 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:08.480 these big moves in stocks, but you also see big moves to the downside. 501 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:13.079 But for long term investors, people that are saving for retirement and investing 502 00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:16.000 through for retirement. Slow and steady wins the race because the stock market average 503 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:20.360 is about a ten percent gain every year going back about seventy or eighty years. 504 00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:22.400 We had a big twenty four percent ga in last year, So just 505 00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:28.280 hang in there. So when we see these big swings, not to panic. 506 00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.920 Just know that it's part of the ride. It's absolutely part of the 507 00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:35.360 right. And you also have to decide for yourself as an investor, what's 508 00:37:35.360 --> 00:37:37.519 your threshold, how much of a loss are you willing to take? How 509 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:39.480 long are you going to be invested for If you're going to need that money 510 00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:42.760 you have in the stock market in the next five years, you're going to 511 00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:45.719 think very differently than somebody who's got twenty thirty, forty years of investing in 512 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:49.199 front of them. And if you're that person with a long term horizon, 513 00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.480 stay of course, because the stock market has rewarded you on average, year 514 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.960 in year out for the past eighty or so years. Okay, And then 515 00:37:57.360 --> 00:38:01.400 I want to ask you about inflation. And it appears that, like you 516 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:05.320 said, the FED is saying, oh, we might not do the any 517 00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:13.480 reductions until early summer, and also that the inflation rate yesterday was higher than 518 00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:19.079 expected and it was at three point one percent year over year. But since 519 00:38:19.159 --> 00:38:22.159 like twenty twenty, and even though everybody goes, oh, the inflation rate's 520 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:28.000 coming down, it's still up. I mean it's prices are still sky high. 521 00:38:28.039 --> 00:38:30.199 So like how much your price is up in the last like three years. 522 00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:35.159 Yeah, prices are up some twenty percent in the past three years. 523 00:38:35.199 --> 00:38:37.360 But remember everything we've been through. The thing that people need to remember is 524 00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.679 that even though inflation is slowing, the rate of growth is slow, and 525 00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:45.039 we call that disinflation. We're not getting deflation. Prices are not dropping except 526 00:38:45.039 --> 00:38:49.239 in certain categories like used cars and trucks. Right now, you're not going 527 00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.280 to find a lot of price drops, utilities a little bit cheaper, but 528 00:38:52.320 --> 00:38:54.960 in general everything is at an elevated price and it's not going to be going 529 00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:59.960 down to where it was in twenty nineteen. We have had serious in place, 530 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:01.679 you know, these last few years, and the economy's changed. So 531 00:39:01.800 --> 00:39:06.159 you have to change how you think about how you spend, what it costs 532 00:39:06.159 --> 00:39:08.039 to be you, how much you're taking in, and how much you're spending 533 00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:12.000 if you're going to keep control of this, because this is where prices are 534 00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:15.360 going to be for a while, and chances of them ever really coming down 535 00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.880 again are It's sort of like, once they're up there, they're up there, 536 00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:22.440 right. Once they're up there, they're up there. And we also 537 00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:25.199 have very full employment in this country. Three point seven percent unemployment is full 538 00:39:25.199 --> 00:39:29.960 employment according to the FED. And to keep employees happy, there's been a 539 00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:31.960 lot of wage increases in the past year or two, about four percent, 540 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:37.280 which is unusual. So to keep paying employees a higher wage, companies have 541 00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:39.320 to raise prices. They pass it on to us the consumers. They shrink 542 00:39:39.360 --> 00:39:44.000 their packaging. That strenflation you're everybody talking about right now, this is all 543 00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.360 part of the same thing. Higher prices giving us less for our money, 544 00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:51.119 so we have to make our money last longer. That's the impact of inflation 545 00:39:51.719 --> 00:39:55.000 planning is key.

Thank you so much for your time and your 548 00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:08.599 information this morning. Thank you. All right, let's get back to some 549 00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:12.880 of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Two students 550 00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.119 in Anaheim have been hit by a speeding car that spun out of control and 551 00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:20.639 drove up onto a sidewalk. Both kids were taken to the hospital yesterday and 552 00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:22.880 are said to be in stable condition. Two other kids were able to jump 553 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:27.840 out of the way. The driver of the car stuck around and did cooperate 554 00:40:27.880 --> 00:40:32.039 with police. Three people have been arrested for allegedly stealing several bronze plaques from 555 00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:37.679 the Port of Los Angeles area in San Pedro. The plaques from the American 556 00:40:37.719 --> 00:40:44.119 Merchant Marines Veterans Memorial and the International Warehouse and Longshore Union's Bloody Thursday Memorial were 557 00:40:44.159 --> 00:40:47.280 stolen late last month. A plaque from the Japanese fishing village from Memorial on 558 00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:52.679 Terminal Island was also taken. The arrest yesterday were made during a traffic stop. 559 00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:58.440 The LA's Port Police chief says evidence found linked the people to the thefts 560 00:40:58.440 --> 00:41:02.239 of grave markers at local cemeteries as well. An effort by House Republicans to 561 00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:07.880 impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Majorcis has passed by one vote the YASER two fourteen 562 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:15.880 and the NASER two thirteen. The resolution is adopted ABCSJ O'Brien says. DHS 563 00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:20.679 released a statement last night about the vote. They say quote, House Republicans 564 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:25.159 will be remembered by history for trampling on the Constitution for political gain rather than 565 00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:31.760 working to solve the serious challenges at our bordery. President Biden also says history 566 00:41:31.800 --> 00:41:37.559 will not look kindly on House Republicans. Mayorcis is the second Cabinet secretary in 567 00:41:37.639 --> 00:41:39.760 US history to be impeached, and the first in nearly one hundred and fifty 568 00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:44.599 years. The Senate is out of session, but we'll be talking about the 569 00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:59.480 impeachment when lawmakers return February twenty sixth. That function made the list because it 570 00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.079 doesn't have in the title. Wedding bills are ringing for hundreds of people in 571 00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:07.519 Riverside County who are getting married this Valentine's Day.
